oddly enough i have a second one because the printer forgot to include the mounting cleat, so when i told them that their solution was... a whole new print?? not sure what to do with the second one
I've got a sparkly blue spiral galaxy for you all this morning. It's called NGC 7496, and it's from @janiceleeastro@twitter.com's PHANGS-HST program. :)

i'm driving. to my left is a rocky terrain. above it, i catch a glimpse of the moon...no, wait, that's jupiter, and it's the size of the moon. "oh, hell no" i'm in full freak out mode, but no one else seems to care why it's such a bad thing. luckily i woke up before the world end
here's a recurring one: i look up and there's a completely awesome view of the moon undergoing an eclipse. "oh crap, i forgot all about that" i go to get my camera. annoyingly, the eclipse is already done. argh
last night i was a hot air balloon hobbyist. i got transported to an alternate dimension where hot air balloons did not exist. i joined a team hunting down an undead version of [redacted man]. we're using fancy forensics. abruptly, i must explain earth has the best atmosphere.
Joining in HST's anniversary celebration. Happy Birthday, HST! 32 years of wonder.

if i may offer some pointless conjecture it's as if someone put almost all of their eggs in the jwst basket. but also hst keeps breaking.
just downloaded this year's fits files. i mean, this is a really cool group of galaxies (HCG 40) but there's only a couple hours' worth of basic cosmetic work to do. and the h-alpha filter seems pointless from an aesthetic view. oh well
